29th September- BUSY day

Hi-de-hi campers!
This week has been a bit rough, I was told the Pirate Party might not even occur because we havn't got any volunteers (that want to work with children...plenty to do tea and coffee though...) PLEASE keep praying for the pirate party and that volunteers sign up! I am going to enter secondary schools and find some teeangers soon so pray I have confidence to do so...
...and then Monday I tripped on a step and my toe got a nasty rip and the toenail has split in half, so I've grown a rather attractive hobble at the moment! And yet again not much has been happening...

However todays been quite busy! So thats been quite uplifting =] Yesterday I went to a concert for King's Chapel Choir with guest Norway choir singers, quite a range of music, it was really good!
Today started off at 10am with Mother and Toddler group, lots of toddlers today and 2 babies! Lots of tantrums, lots of tickling and chasing kids around but I love it! Kids are so alive! =] Three mothers have taken my number so I should be babysitting soon, woowoop :P

We then had lunch in the rock hotel (expensive much?? £11 for a sandwich! VAT free :P) when P2 says, "Oh look, we have company!"... and a monkey was sitting by our table. The waiter then runs off and returns with a HUGE stick and a face of rage and starts chasing this monkey away XD was quite funny! So must warn parents when they come to stay for a week to close their hotel windows...!

I then went to a dyslexia group where volunteers help children/teenagers with homework and reading every 2 weeks. I REALLY enjoyed this, there are some right characters in there! I helped a little boy do his science homework then listened to a girl read (an Enid Blyton book...why are they ALWAYS about boarding schools??) it was really lovely =] it makes such a big difference just spending a little time helping a child to read numbers/letters, I'm definately going back :)

This was then followed by church choir practise (8 sopranos and 1 bass!) and was only half an hour! It reminded me of home! I miss singing at home... but it was followed by a drink down by the bay which was lovely as the temperature is 27.5 degrees today! They didn't have any magners though :( why is there no magners in Gibraltar?? :P they didn't have any in the pub last night either!...(Anyone care to send me a crate? :P)

Anyways things are still quite slow here and I still havn't visited any schools but I am settled down a lot more now. So please pray things will start to kick off for me! =]
I feel more positive this week and I think God is working away so I'm just going to have to trust him.
Song of the day? O Quam Gloriosum est Regnum - Victoria (youtube it!) I sang this at Bath residential singing course this year and I adore it! =]
Those are the updates for this week so far, so thanks for reading, keep praying and I'll update again soon :)
Over and out! x
